Chapter 17 Ruan Zilong's Heartache



As soon as I turned the corner of the room, I heard a "thump" and then an anxious cry for help;

“Ahhhh….Help!”

Hearing his son Jiang Weizhao's cry for help, Jiang Fujie thought quickly, turned around, picked up the fire stick under the corridor, and ran to the toilet quickly.

It was dark and he couldn't see the road clearly. He was in a hurry and ran too fast. Before he reached the toilet, he was tripped by an unknown object on the ground.

There was no time to brake, and everyone rushed towards Jiang Weichao who was calling for help, including the sticks...

Jiang Weizhao was still struggling. He just shouted four or five times, thinking someone was coming to save him. Before he could see anything clearly, he was knocked unconscious by Jiang Fujie!

Now it turned into a father and son floundering in the pit of feces...

Ruan Jianghong, who was in another room, heard some noise vaguely, took out the flashlight from home, and rushed over here following the path.

"Xiaohong, Xiaohong, please save me..."

A faint voice reached my ears.

Ruan Jianghong listened carefully and found that it was her husband Jiang Fujie's voice, so she quickly quickened her pace.

When she got to the toilet, she saw two people, one smelling stinky and calling for help, and the other had fainted. She felt nauseous.

The two were covered in feces and maggots. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell who they were...

After leaning against the wall and vomiting for a while, she said to her husband Jiang Fujie in disgust;

"Hold on to Wei Chao and don't let him drown. I'll go get something and pull you out..."

Jiang Fujie was exhausted from struggling. Everything that happened tonight was about to make him collapse. He didn't want to talk much and spoke in a somewhat aggressive tone.

"Hurry up!"

Ruan Jianghong didn't care about it and hurried back to the corridor to pick up a thicker stick of firewood.

She turned around and ran to the toilet. After a lot of effort, she finally pulled the two people out.

Seeing the two smelly shit people, Ruan Jianghong had no choice but to hurried to the kitchen to boil a large pot of water.

I found clean clothes for the two of them, then added some cold water and asked them to wash themselves several times, otherwise the smell would be so strong that it would choke them to death.

It took several bars of soap for the two of them to wash away the smell on their bodies.

She was busy bandaging and applying medicine to the injured heads of Jiang Weizhao and her husband Jiang Fujie. In the blink of an eye, she was busy until dawn...

The three of them seemed to have not slept for a whole night. The dark circles above their eyes and the dark circles under their eyes showed that all three of them were in very bad condition.

After tossing and turning all night, the three of them were yawning and crying. They didn't have time to talk much and went back to their rooms to catch up on some sleep.

…………………………

Early in the morning, it was just dawn.

Ruan Zilong woke up from his dream with a start. He didn't sleep well the previous night and he still had nightmares occasionally after being reborn.

I dreamed of all kinds of beatings and abuses in my previous life, the vicious face of the coal factory boss, and the hideous faces of several people from the Jiang family.

He woke up several times during the night, his clothes soaked with sweat, and he was always afraid deep down.

He reached out and touched his childish face and soft little hands, and encouraged himself in his heart.

Ruan Zilong! This is no longer the last life. My sister is still alive, and I am alive too. Everything will be fine!

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he got up, threw off the quilt, put on his slippers, and walked out...

It was too early and the sky was so gloomy that it was hard to tell whether it would be sunny or cloudy.

I got some water to wash up, tidied myself up, and went into the kitchen. Since I couldn’t sleep, I might as well get up and make breakfast!

He opened the cupboard and found the flour. He prepared to make some dumpling soup and steam some eggs and sweet potatoes.

He cleaned the stove neatly, lit the fire, added water, washed the vegetables, and made the batter.

It was as familiar as if it had been done hundreds or thousands of times, and in a short while, a hearty breakfast was ready.

He carefully served the rice, brought it to the table in the main room, and placed steamed sweet potatoes and eggs on it.

Then he wiped his hands and turned to walk towards Ruan Mengmeng's bedroom;

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Ruan Mengmeng came home a little late last night. In her dream, she was eating hot pot with her best friend. She happened to be enjoying her favorite hot pot beef tripe...

She was about to complain irritably when she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Suddenly I remembered that this is no longer my previous life, nor my own era, and I still have my younger brother Ruan Zilong at home.

Rubbing her messy hair, she got out of bed and asked while suppressing her annoyance;

"Is there something wrong? Little brother..."

"Get up and have breakfast!"

Ruan Zilong's voice rang out from outside the door. After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Ruan Mengmeng would stay in bed, so he added another sentence;

"Hurry up and get up, otherwise it will get cold and won't taste good!"

Ruan Mengmeng secretly admired him... "Little brother, you're up so early? Did you not sleep well last night?"

She felt a little embarrassed when she thought that she hadn’t woken up early enough for her children…

Thinking of her worry-mongering little brother, she couldn't help but laugh... Did he find himself a housekeeper? No more sleeping in, eh!

I lingered getting dressed, washed up, and by the time I was done, fifteen minutes had already passed…

Seeing Ruan Zilong sitting at the dinner table, Ruan Mengmeng wanted to laugh. Why did this little guy act like a little adult?

"Why don't you eat first? You don't have to wait for me..."

Ruan Mengmeng said this as she pulled out a stool and sat down next to Ruan Zilong.

After seeing Ruan Mengmeng had finished cleaning up and was seated, Ruan Zilong picked up the eggs and sweet potatoes, gave one to each of them, and started eating.

Seeing that Ruan Zilong didn't say anything, Ruan Mengmeng didn't say much either.

Knowing that the child had a lot on his mind, she decided to have a good talk with him after dinner.

Ruan Mengmeng took the egg handed to her by Ruan Zilong without any disgust. She peeled the skin and ate it with the dumpling soup, enjoying it mouthful by mouthful.

The two of them did not waste food and soon finished everything. Ruan Zilong still took the lead to clean up the mess and wash the chopsticks and dishes.

Ruan Mengmeng had no objection. With her younger brother helping her clean up, she had some free time.

Ruan Zilong was also efficient. He finished cleaning everything in just over ten minutes and also cleaned the kitchen at the same time.

Standing at the kitchen door, watching the younger brother working skillfully, Ruan Mengmeng felt dazed. Such a young child, it seemed that he had suffered a lot in his previous life.

This can't go on. Seeing him depressed and hesitant to speak, she felt uncomfortable too.

Things must be talked out. The two of them will live together often in the future. Only by talking it out can they live a better life.

Seeing that the younger brother had finished cleaning up, Ruan Mengmeng didn't say anything more and went straight to the point;

"Ruan Zilong, come with me, I have something to tell you!"

Ruan Zilong heard his sister calling him and turned his head to answer;

"Okay, here I come..."

Then he picked up the towel and wiped the water stains on his hands left by washing dishes. Ruan Zilong silently followed Ruan Mengmeng's butt and walked towards the main room.
